"The tight end that typically gets overlooked for awards finally got one today as the Indianapolis Colts' Dallas Clark was named NFL AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Clark, a seventh-year pro who has flourished in this offense but has yet to make his first Pro Bowl, tied a franchise record with a career-high 14 catches in Sunday's 20-17 home victory over Houston.

Clark's catches tied former receiver Marvin Harrison for most in a Colts game. It's also the third-best single-game total by a tight end in NFL history, behind Kellen Winslow (1984) and Jason Witten (2007), each with 15."
